Bite My Tongue Lyrics

Artist: Relient K
Album: Five Score And Seven Years Ago

I was going to spell it out in full detailBut I dropped the call before I spilled my gutsBut your floor stayed clean, like my conscience will beCause if you heard anything, you didn't hear it from me

And I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clockAnd saving them for later when I'm too ticked to talkAnd I need some time to search my mindTo locate the words that seem so hard to find

Sometimes I say things thatI wish I could take backThe most crucial thing I lackIs a thing called tactBut if you're always so intently listeningThen the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quietDon't let it all come undoneCause if I dare open my mouthIt'll just be to bite my tongueTo bite my tongue

It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouthAnd the worst of me seems to come right outBut I've never broken bones with a stone or a stickBut I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick

Sometimes I say things thatI wish I could take backThen the smartest thing to say is to tell myself

To keep quiet, quietDon't let it all come undoneCause if I dare open my mouthIt'll just be to bite my tongueI gotta keep quiet, quietAnd listen to your voiceBecause the power of your wordsCan restore all that I've destroyed

And when I finally doLet it come from youThe peace of understanding grips my soulCause you're the reason I'veFound meaning in this lifeSo I'll swallow up my pride and give you controlI give all to you

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quietDon't let it all come undoneCause if I dare open my mouthIt'll just be to bite my tongueI gotta keep quiet, quietAnd listen to your voiceBecause the power of your wordsCan restore all that I've destroyed

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quietDon't let it all come undoneCause if I dare open my mouthIt'll just be to bite my tongueTo bite my tongue
